Walk Softly
Billy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want me to take you back once more
You say you need a helping hand dear
But that's what you told me once before
Walk softly on this heart of mine love
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Let it rest in peace and quiet love
I know you soon will find a new love
I feel your heart is turned to stone
But please let me down real easy
For loneliness moves in as you move on
Walk softly on this heart of mine love
Don't treat it mean and so unkind
Let it rest in peace and quiet love
Walk softly on this heart of mine
In "Walk Softly," Billy Stewart sings about a classic break-up scenario where his partner has hurt him before and is now pleading for forgiveness and another chance. Billy is wary of being hurt again, but he still loves the person and wants them to leave gently to spare his heart. He uses the phrase "walk softly" as a metaphor for an easy break-up and a gentle exit.
The lyrics showcase resilience and the ability to love even after enduring pain. Billy Stewart's soulful voice adds to the emotional depth of the song, as he pleads with his partner to act kindly towards his heart. The song comes across as a final plea from Billy, letting his lover down as gently as possible while simultaneously saying goodbye to a relationship that had once meant something to both of them.

This man was could bridge so many types of music. I think if I had to award thebest singer for someone who could cover so many bases well, country, light rock,folk, it would be Billy Crash Craddock.He could play all bases and do them all very well. His music will be around half acentury from now. A great voice....he sings with so much feeling.
Charlotte Nelson
Crash is one of the best singers there is and is such a sweet person! I met him several years at a concert and a nicer and friendlier person you won't find!!!!
